Yes, i agree Xigmatek Asgard Pro has the sleek look and function. I think one reason it's not popular cuz its new Xigmatek product and less advertisement on IT shop. I fortunately found this casing during search in Garage Sales. Xigmatek need more exposure and recomendation.

QUOTE(benl40 @ Apr 19 2012, 04:28 AM) Hello, please recommend me a case, my budget is RM500 max this is what I'm looking at 500R/600T - Corsair Trooper/Enforcer/Scout - CM What I generally need is USB 3.0, prefer with LED, see thru side window, this case will be on the floor so I would prefer to have top I/O panel. Please recommend me other case you deem fit in this criteria, any brand =D You also can consider Thermaltake Chaser MK-1. Added on April 20, 2012, 12:47 pmQUOTE(bernking @ Apr 19 2012, 02:23 PM) hey guys, what do you think of Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 vs CM Storm Trooper? Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 has more point on outlook and side windows. Added on April 20, 2012, 12:48 pmQUOTE(SomeoneElse @ Apr 19 2012, 09:36 PM) im also looking for a casing below rm 150, considering AeroCool aerocool vx-r battle edition and aerocool vs 4... which one better? or got other choice? 1st priority would be air flow Try Xigmatek Asgard Pro.

Try Bitfenix Colossus window (Ask if they shipped with Internal USB 3.0 Header as the news from Bitfenix do say they are equipped with Internal USB 3.0 Header) http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1896670THERMALTAKE CHASER MK-I http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/998780Lian li- PC-7FNWB Black Fractal Design Define R3 USB3.0 Black Pearl Cougar Evolution Corsair 600T This post has been edited by Hilmax: May 4 2012, 04:16 PM

QUOTE(torino @ May 4 2012, 04:50 PM) 600T got internal usb 3.0? i thought its external..  btw, are these casings are able to fit WC radiator at the top part? (replacing the stock fan provided in the package) Sorry, Corsair 600T use external USB 3.0 cable same as Aerocool X-Predator  . Not sure depend on radiator size...but Bitfenix Colossus window or THERMALTAKE CHASER MK-I sure fit. CM Storm Trooper Window from Hikari85 can be considered.

QUOTE(5p3ak @ May 14 2012, 05:06 PM) Mainly cuz I gave up finding green colour case, the HAF-X Nvidia edition looks good but I'm not sure if it's good for WC. TBH I really wanted the Switch 810(White version), but I've asked around and it seems ATM distributors don't take in new NZXT products. Yea those are hard to find. I think CytnrixTech already mark HAF X as "friendly water case". Why they don't upgrade their current line  (NZXT) in malaysia . Most the case are still USB2.0.

QUOTE(Alexinator @ May 16 2012, 11:16 PM) How about entry level casings like CM Elite 430/421, Bitfenix Merc Alpha, Xingmatek Asgard, Thermaltake V3?  Hyper212+ Height about 160mm, standard fan height 25mm, 15mm for clearance = At least the width case must 200mm IMHO.
